tsumikYou can answer a simple yes or no if you'd like but...
Have you ever felt trapped. Or not even so much trapped but a very disturbing pressure that everything your good at and everything you want to explore and learn about is stiffled and suppressed by the confines of reality and society? I sit here and just got done reading an article about Joshua Davis who is the mind behind praystation.com and dreamless.org. You can go there but you won't see anything. See he's a designer. But more then just a designer someone who's free of the bonds of reality it seems. In the matrix they talk about this splinter in your mind. When I heard that for the first time watching the matrix not knowing anything about the movie I was like "THAT'S ME!" But not so much in the way of the matrix, but more that freedom of being a child. My 9 to 5, my bills, my regular life seem to be just getting in the way. I envy those people who get to do what there passions and love drive them to be and make a decent living doing it. I've always dreamed of living and working in what I call the Studio. A place where everything around me doesn't stiffle me or hinder me in doing what I need to explore and grow. Photography, light, computers, beauty, technology, philosophy, contradiction, fear, sound, red, animals, stars, etc. etc. All these things I want to know more about, to look at more closely. I feel like I need like a hundred of me to be able to have each one go and explore one avenue of my life. Cause I feel in a lifetime I won't be able to learn/do everything I want to do. Of course everyone I try explain this to tells me "Just Do It.' So my questions...
1) Do I make any sense?
2) Does this even seem possible?
3) Have any idea how to get there?
Thanks

Time and space...
Date: 2002-09-17 03:22 am (UTC)alas, tonight is not the night but I figured I would never get here if I didn't at least let you know the questions are worth asking and certainly worth answering...
But for now...
1) Yes.
... and the rest will have to wait...Ã

I felt trapped to the point of physical inhibitions.
Getting tangled in the routine will always do that to you. Just remember above all, never let go of your art. Forever use it as your window out of the mundane repetivness that taxes your life.
